I have just fitted a 36-element log-periodic
(https://www.amazon.co.uk/AERIAL-LOG-PERODIC-36-ELEMENT-TYPE/dp/B01L62DT7G/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1538838784&sr=8-11&keywords=optima+aerial)
in place of a Group A 18-element yagi so that I can get Com7/8. I am
about 18 miles from Rowridge, apparently...

I have a Blake log periodic (DML26WB) on a low pole 9 miles from CP and,
while signal strength from Chs55-56 is lower than others, the quality as

path from the aerial rather than in the aerial itself.

Just a quick question for you all, please, before I go into the gory detail.
I recorded the Paddington Station programme. All the adverts and trailers have "jitter" (maybe one double stutter per second) but all of the programme sections themselves are perfectly smooth.
I'm sure there must be an...

Folks,
Some of you may remember that almost 2 years ago I asked about the
slowness of my old HUMAX YouView+ box. Well I "bit the bullet" and
replaced it with one of the newer DTR2110 models. Its performance is
really is a total eye opener. Virtually instant response to menus. The
remote even...

I can now confirm that the scart to phono adaptor or its connection to set
top boxes is the source of the vision on the sound buzz. Taking out the
adaptor and wiring the audio to the headphone socket on the back and its
gorn.

I sat down this morning to watch my recording of Ch. 5's WRC Welsh
Rally, and just before the end, it was uncertain who was about to win
it. Then the recording stopped, according to the signal sent out by Ch.
5. I happened to have it on a second recorder, and it was the same. It
was as though...

I've had a Sky+ HD box passed on to me and I was wondering why people
buy them on eBay?
If you want the + bit you need to subscribe.
If you want the HD bit you need to subscribe.
If you want Freesat then you need a Freesat box.
If you want free sat from Sky then you need to enjoy scrolling...

No not buzzing as in audio hum like earth loop or open circuit earth, but
buzzing as in old fashioned vision buzz as we used to get on some cheap 625
sets back in the day. How can this occur in this digital age?

I do wish spell-check would not keep turning Yagi into Yogi.
Its a damn conspiracy.

Blind user, so no pictures please

NO I think its more likely that it is rather in bad taste. After all a loved
one might have recognised somebody before the authorities contacted them.

I've been personally involved with "proper" (i.e. not just
sky/freeview) satellite for well over 20 years now recieving from a wide
portion of the clarke belt.
I was an avid reader of and contributor to a.s.t.c and a.s.t.e. (fellow
satellite tv enthusiasts will know what I am talking about!)

Sorry for interrupting this august body with a question so simple but ...
Our TV (Sony Bravia) gets its aerial feed via the PVR (Humax Fox T2).
Owing to its continuing Green Screen problems, the Humax is frequently
powered off (via the switch on the back of the box).
The TV picture then...

Just watched Walking Britain's Lost Railways, the one about the
Sheffield to Manchester line. Many times during the programme the
picture was out of focus. I don't mean as an arty effect; this was
accidental. Sometimes focus was regained but often quite long shots were
blurred from start to...

We have a Humax PVP4000T that my wife uses to record programmes on and
watch others on iPlayer.. On Wednesday from 5am until around 10pm our
fibre internet connection was down due to an Open Reach problem. As she
could not watch one that she wanted to on iPlayer she went to her

My aerial has a clear sight of Emley Moor and my distribution system
normally delivers a perfect signal to all the TV sets and recorders.
However, during the freakishly heavy rain in the early hours of today
our reception suffered a long series of brief break-ups. This
observation is based on...

First post - I have a TV aerial that looks the same shape as the Labgear Tri-Boom Mast Digital Aerial - https://www.screwfix.com/p/labgear-tri-boom-mast-digital-aerial/60215
The topmost part of the rear reflector (?) wobbles by about 25mm as it appears to rotate at its connection point to the main...

(I'd have tacked this onto my previous thread but it has expired here.)
I have been looking for a T2 ("HD") STB that:
1. does AD (audio description)
2. records to USB stick
3. has a SCART output
with little success: the AD being the main problem - not so much that
boxes don't have it, as that...

BBC Research & Development said it has now managed to "eliminate" the delay.
However, its software is not ready to be rolled out to the public yet.
Live TV watched online is often behind by several seconds because it takes
longer to reliably send video over the internet than to broadcast...
